Newly-crowned Premier League champions Manchester City will host relegation-candidates Swansea City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Since City have already wrapped up the title, it will be interesting to see what sort of approach Pep Guardiola takes with his team selection in the remaining games. The Citizens come into this game following an impressive 3-1 win at Tottenham. They have lost only once at home in the league this season, and that defeat came against local rivals United in their last home game. Irrespective of the team-selection, the Citizens…

West Bromwich Albion look hopeless and destined for relegation at the moment. Under the guidance of caretaker manager Darren Moore, they will face Swansea City at the Hawthorns on Saturday. Earlier in the week, the Baggies parted ways with Alan Pardew following a spell of 18 games which resulted in only one win. The sacking came following West Brom’s 1-2 home defeat to Burnley.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and his side have attracted a lot of negative attention in the recent weeks, but they would be hoping for a comfortable outing against Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Red Devils have won their last three games in the league, including a home win over Liverpool. However, at the same time, they have bowed out to Sevilla in Champions League, and Mourinho has been forced to defend his position. The Red Devils currently occupy the second spot in the league table with…

Swansea City are riding high on confidence as they prepare to host Burnley at The Liberty Stadium on Saturday. These sides couldn’t have possibly experienced more contrasting trajectories to their respective seasons as they have had this season. The Swans endured a very difficult first-half of the season, but they are now unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions under manager Carlos Carvalhal. In this run, they have registered home wins over the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal. Under the guidance of their Portuguese manager, the Swans have…

However, the Swans still find themselves in the bottom spot with 20 points – three points behind the safety line. The Swans are in desperate need of…

Newcastle United have acquired some valuable points in the recent weeks to keep them above the drop-zone. They will be hoping to add some more when they host bottom-side Swansea City at St James’ Park on Saturday. In their last league game, the Magpies claimed a 1-0 win at Stoke City and followed-up that result with a 3-1 success over Luton Town in FA Cup last weekend. After a run of nine league games without a win, the Magpies have won two of their last four games. However, they are…

Liverpool would be aiming to keep hold of their top-four spot when they host bottom-of-the-table Swansea City at Anfield on Boxing Day. The Reds blew up a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Arsenal last Friday, and they will come into the game having drawn three of their last four league fixtures. However, the Reds are undefeated in their last ten and occupy the fourth spot with 35 points. Only one point separates them from Tottenham and Arsenal, and anything less than three points against the Swans could see them…

The Blues, who have picked 13 points from their last five games, will welcome second-from-bottom Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The West London side, who are placed third in the table, have found a bit of a rhythm in the league following an inconsistent start, but they already find themselves 11 points behind leaders Manchester City. In their last home game, last year’s champions managed to beat Manchester United…

Swansea City are in desperate need of points as they prepare to host a resurgent Bournemouth side at Liberty Stadium on Saturday. The Welsh side have their last four league games and find themselves second-from-bottom with just nine points from their 12 games.

High-flying Burnley will host a struggling Swansea City at Turf Moor on Saturday. The Clarets have defied expectations in the first quarter of the season, and they find themselves in an unlikely seventh spot with 19 points – level on points with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

Clarets’ resolute defence has laid the foundation of their impressive form…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is under immense pressure as he prepares his side for the home game against Huddersfield Town on Saturday. The Reds have managed just one win in their last six league games, and find themselves in the ninth spot with 13 points from nine games. In their last game, they suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat at Tottenham, and the mood is far from upbeat in the Reds’ camp at the moment. Anything less than three points would mean a crisis at Anfield, and the hosts will be…

Tottenham will be hoping to claim the first home win of the league season when they host Swansea at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. The North London side have failed to claim a win in their first two league games at Wembley Stadium, and many have questioned their ability to get results at the stadium. The 3-1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund during the midweek was their first home win of the season, and manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted that the win was more than three points for him. Spurs, who registered…

Swansea City will attempt to build on their away win over Crystal Palace when they host Newcastle United at Liberty Stadium on Sunday evening. The hosts started their season with a goalless draw at Southampton and followed that up with a disappointing 4-0 loss to Manchester United at home. They scored their first goal of the season in the win over Palace, and that result must have done a world of good for their confidence. For the Swans, midfielder Renato Sanchez, who has arrived in a loan move from Bayern…

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen to seal a last-minute swoop for Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente, according to talkSPORT. Llorente, who has previously played under the Italian manager at Juventus, was also a transfer target for the Blues in January, but a move never realized. The report claims that the Premier League champions are still interested in the 32-year-old, even though they are yet to lodge a bid for the Spanish striker. Llorente, who joined the Swans on a two-year deal from Sevilla last summer, has only one year…
